In addition, Kellington Protection will not generally employ persons convicted some other offenses, such as spousal abuse or passing bad checks.

The preliminary criminal record check is conducted through the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System Webportal at http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/CP.aspx. This is an immediate check, but not a certified criminal history check. However, it accurately shows about 95% of criminal convictions so that applicants with convictions for felonies or any other crime that would preclude them from employment can be weeded out at the beginning of the employment process. It has the additional benefit of showing active court cases that have not yet reached the disposition phase.

Applicants are then screened through the Pennsylvania State Police for the official, certified Criminal Record Check [See Addendum D: Criminal Record Checks].
